how can I execute jar files on Touch ?

thomass · 03-17-2012, 05:20 AM

I need to run a jar file on a waf-extension. Do I need to edit some system file?

jar file is in the same folder with html and this is the corresponding part:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
if(useJavaSaver)
document.write("<applet style='position:absolute;left:-1px' name='TiddlySaver' code='TiddlySaver.class' archive='TiddlySaver.jar' width='1' height='1'></applet>");
//]]>
</script>

and this is the extension I mentioned.

Short answer: applets are not supported.

then the next question follows: are there any way to convert this jar file to a javascript ( if it's posible) ? ( I'm such a beginner

)

Short answer: No
Long answer: If you have the code you *might* be able to convert the code. VERY TOUGH.

Short answer again: nope

The problem is that you want to be able to write to the "host" (=Kindle) file system from within a WAF application. For security reasons, the WAF framework won't let you do this.

I suggest to write Kindlets instead. With my Kindlet Jailbreak, you can get the full functionality and read/write files, execute programs etc. to your heart's desire.

(Actually I was aware of that thread but not sure whether it is for a real beginner. )

There is also a minimalistic sample app (complete eclipse project) here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...52#post1905152
This one makes use of the Kindlet Jailbreak.

Any chance of, say, opera.azw2

UPDATE:
A possible method is to add opera.jar as a library and in the kindlet create a new <opera main class> then do mainclass.Main();
